or even production, of vessels and equipment in the autonomous sector the conference will offer a valuable insight into the future.
With the ever increasing need to reduce operating costs and minimise fuel consumption, together with growing environmental and legislative pressures to bring down emissions, vessel operators are constantly looking for solutions and hybrid propulsion is high on the list.
The second Seawork Conference session will focus on this topic with a fascinating Panel discussion on “The case for hybrid pilot boats – economic, environmental & operational”, moderated by Andy Page, MD of Chartwell Marine Ltd, a Naval Architectural consultancy. The keynote address, by Dennis Doerffel of REAPsystems, will update on the HEVIMA Project. The project aims to develop an innovative modular parallel hybrid marine power system that surpasses the efficiency and emission levels of existing hybrid systems.
In addition to the paid-for Commercial Marine Conference Seawork also offers free Business Briefings featuring presentations from supporting associations and other keynote speakers. Dates for the diary include the Composites Forum, presented by Composites UK at 1400 on Tuesday 11 June; Challenges and Environmental Benefits of the use of HDPE Material in Boat Building, presented by İzmir Shipyard at 1500 on the same day; Unsafe Access in Port - An Industry Problem, by the National Workboat Association at 1030 on Wednesday 12 June and the must-attend MoD Procurement Sessions from 1100- 1300 on Thursday 13 June, followed by Project Marine Services 2022 (MS2022), presented by the Defence Marine Services, Navy Command.
This year Seawork will not only quench the thirst for knowledge it will also quench the thirst for water. The exhibition is committed to being environmentally friendly and sustainable. As part of this the organisers are installing water stations which will encourage visitors and exhibitors to bring their own re-usable water bottles, rather than resort to single use plastic. Other green initiatives planned for 2019 include recycling exhibition carpets where possible, using 80% more efficient LED spotlights on stands, using 100% recyclable sugar cane-based carrier bags and adding improved waste recycling on site at Seawork.
